We waited as long as we could, but freedom was the only choice we could take when we knew Durandal had returned. I was there on the bridge when Blake gave the order. When the S’pht who had agreed to help us linked with the Hfarl’s navigation computer and took us into foldspace. I was there on the bridge when we returned to realspace, inexplicably back in the Lh’won system, but a system changed almost beyond recognition. I was there as Frain stared in horror at the sensors showing Lh’won and K’lia disintegrating. I’m still on the bridge. Probably the only one alive. Blake still sits in the command chair, but I haven’t been able to look at what used to be his face for almost twenty minutes. I’ve cut the external sensor readout. Presumably we’re still heading towards the station that seemed to be the only thing withstanding the forces consuming the system, but I doubt we’ll make it there. Internal readouts show the shielding g~ne and the hull cra~~kn% 783^^# Df^%%49 Signal lost
